.trun Virus – methods of operation

You have without a doubt already seen the effects of the Ransomware virus. Your personal files have a strange extension after the name and cannot be accessed or altered. A ransom message demanding a certain amount be paid in full with Bitcoins or other currency forms can be found on your desktop. In other words you have witnessed the end result. But how did it all start? First .trun Virus needed to infiltrate your computer. To achieve that the virus used another form of malware, namely a Trojan horse. After gaining access to your system the ransomware started scanning your hard drives in order to determine your most often used files. Once that task had been completed the actual process of encrypting would commence. Not much latter and all your personal files would be replaced with encrypted copies of the originals. According to the Ransom note the only way for you to get your files back would be to pay the demanded sum of money. But that’s not actually true. Continue reading!

How did you end up with .trun Virus?

We briefly mentioned that in order to access your computer the Ransomware needs a backdoor first. That “door” is represented by a Trojan application that you’ve had laying dormant on your device. But then again, how did you end up with the Trojan horse then?

There are several ways in which that might have happened.

Infected files attached to e-mails. The threat might be in the form of an .exe or a .dll file. The e-mail might seem legitimate but you should not be fooled in either case. Always scan diligently before opening such files.

If you are using p2p sharing of files or other forms of file storage downloads you need to be prepared that at some point you are about to encounter maliciously altered executables. You should definitely expect that and be prepared by carefully scanning anything downloaded from unofficial sources.

Just a reminder. After you have dealt with the threat that .trun Virus represents, you should definitely look out for the Trojan horse as well. You certainly need to get rid of it as well.

Alternatives to paying the Ransom

It is always a difficult decision that should not be taken lightly. Should you pay or not? We can only offer our sympathies and personal opinion on the matter. This decision is yours only to make. We believe you should exhaust all other options before seriously contemplating to part with your money and pay for something that’s rightfully yours.

You will be relying on the good conscious of people who can only be described as cyber criminals. So there’s no telling whether you would really get anything in return, even if you pay the ransom. We believe this is a big gamble only compounded by the fact that you will be involved in unsavory transactions with people that could very well be prosecuted one day.

The only way to put a stop to this awful industry which is growing and spreading year after year is to take a stand and stop their money flow. It is as simple as that and it starts with each affected user.

You can still get your old files back. It is true that you will not be able to decrypt the ones affected by the Ransomware virus. But you don’t actually need to! Continue reading to learn how you can reverse this process.
